Aerospace Medical Research Division, Hq 6570th, Aerospace Medical Research Lab

Shows research milestones from the USAF Aerospace Medical Research Lab.

Footage of jet fighter seat ejection testing, weightlessness ("vomit comet"), astronaut floating in underwater tank, tilt table test, mock Mercury capsule harness & B-58 escape capsule, severe buffeting & vibration tests.

Weird footage of cats and pigeons floating weightless in space. (animal testing warning)

Also, may be disturbing for those viewers with testicles.
